New cases

Skin care trends are often driven by two types of product: those containing wellness ingredients, and products featuring unique, eye-catching ingredients. For example, last year’s list of trending products included snail mucin serum, an anti-aging cream made with mucus from a snail’s foot degenevieve.com.

SKIMS began selling shapewear after its celeb founder couldn’t find inclusive underwear catering to a range of skin colors. The brand stays trending through product placement in TV shows, social media campaigns, and a memorable visual identity.

The new BMW Panoramic iDrive system combines an ultrawide display and AI with a level of personalization I haven’t seen before. You decide which widgets you want to populate the head-up display with, whether it’s the weather, Spotify or air quality index. But the 3D head-up display is the real game-changer here, as you’ll be able to see upcoming turn info put right on top of your real-world view. Plus, the steering wheel is smart enough to light up the buttons that makes the most sense at just the right time, such as answering an incoming call. Panoramic iDrive has a built-in AI assistant, too, which you can use for navigation or changing modes on the fly. And the system is coming to all new BMWs by the end of 2025. — Mark Spoonauer

SKIMS also runs ad campaigns driving organic consumer interest. Searches for the brand spiked in 2023 when the company launched a viral ad campaign for its nipple bra—impact it’s looking to replicate with its latest campaign.

Inventory update in a popular game

I’m not sure how Marie Kondo would feel if she took a peek into a random gamer’s inventory. Maybe we’re only supposed to save things that spark joy, but in games we tend to collect absolutely everything, stuff it in our inventories, and carry it all around with us. Sure, we may never actually use all of those eight different knives and fourteen different guns and two dozen pairs of gloves and 336 various potions, but we can’t bear to leave them behind, either.

Jody Macgregor: I think you should try any game vanilla before you give in and start modding it, but the closest thing to an essential Skyrim mod is SkyUI. It takes one of the worst inventories in modern RPGs and turns it into the best. You can sort your overflowing hyperspace bag of junk by weight or by value or by value per unit of weight. It also displays the value and weight of items in the crafting, looting, and favorites menus. It has a full-text search bar. It is pure chef-kiss perfection from the most humble of beginnings.
